Hi there, I have just joined as I have a 19 year old autistic son who at times can be lonely. He has stated he would like to find a girlfriend but we have no idea on where to start due to it feeling overwhelming and difficult to find information about possible specialist dating sites etc.

we were think of Match.com or something like this, but not sure if there are better suited onesBlush we are based in the Croydon area and he is a very happy boy generally and loves cars and animals Blush

any advice would be fantastic thanks

    Hi :) I've heard about an app called Hiki which is specifically for autistic people. I struggled to find many UK users though, and it wasn't very accessible with my screen-reader ghI'm blind so this is essential) which means I can't really speak to its functionality, but might be worth a try? All the apps have different emphasises and vibes, so it might be worth trying out a few and seeing which ones feel right. Good luck to your son!
